Building a Better Legal Profession Founder Speaks

Andrew Canter, co-founder of Law Students for Building a Better Legal Profession (BBLP),
will speak at noon in the Moot Court Room. Pizza will be served. The speech is co-sponsored by
PILF, PDP, FLF and TAP.

Building a Better Legal Profession is a national grassroots movement that seeks
market-based workplace reforms in large private law firms. By publicizing firms' self-reported
data on billable hours, pro bono participation, and demographic diversity, it draws attention to
the differences between these employers. It encourages those choosing between firms students
deciding who to work for after graduation, corporate clients deciding who to hire, and
universities deciding who to allow on campus for interviews to exercise their market power
and engage only with the firms that demonstrate a genuine commitment to these issues. BBLP is
dedicated to helping law firms and lawyers recommit to a legal profession devoted to effective
and efficient client service, to lawyers as people, and to the roots of our profession in service. It
is working to ensure that practicing law does not mean giving up a commitment to family,
community, and dedicated service to clients. By advocating for reforms to law firms it hopes to
help keep law both a business and a profession to be proud of. For more information, visit

generally, keys to success in your first years of practice, and why it is especially important for
lawyers to focus on building wealth from the start of their legal career. This is an important topic
for everyone regardless of what you plan to do upon graduation. 3L's in particular are encouraged
to attend, but this topic should be of interest to all law students.

Hyman has more than 12 years of experience in the financial services industry, having
worked as a Senior Attorney in the Chicago Regional Office of the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission, and while in private practice with the Chicago office of the international
law firm DLA Piper and Chicago-based Wildman Harrold Allen & Dixon. During his time in
private practice Hyman represented pension funds, financial advisors, broker-dealer, accountants
and other securities related professionals in matters pending before the SEC and other self
regulatory organizations.

He currently works in the Wealth Management Group at UBS Financial Services, Inc. in
Chicago, where he draws on his prior experience as a securities lawyer by focusing on
understanding his client's needs and goals, and devising and monitoring customized wealth
planning strategies that incorporate investment and insurance solutions, as well as estate planning

Call for PGA Applications

The Dean of Students office is taking applications for PRACTICE Group Advisors. Under
the supervision of the Dean of Students and Director of Student Services, 30 PRACTICE Group
Advisors serve as "front-line" mentors and guides for first-year students. PGAs meet regularly
with a group of 6-8 students to discuss law school life, introduce students to social networks, and
facilitate PRACTICE Program workshops and sessions. Meeting with their groups first during
orientation, PGAs commit to working with their group. Work obligations include the following:
reading materials over the summer, training in August before orientation commences, activities
during orientation, regular group meetings, mandatory Program sessions throughout the fall
semester, meetings with Dean of Students staff, evaluations of the program and student
participation, and a debriefing session in spring semester. Changes to the Practice program and
responsibilities include the fact that PGAs will work through both semesters next year, not just
through the fall. More importantly, PGAs will have a role in helping with the teaching and
administration of the new first year Legal Professions course that all 1Ls will take in the spring
semester. However, some components of the course/program will be conducted in the fall, with
the assistance of PGAs. A new responsibility will be the PGA role in facilitating practice group
discussions of problem sets developed for the course, which will also require some reading and
preparation.

Successful applicants will possess excellent communication, facilitation, and negotiation
skills, the ability to work with diverse students under time constraints, a developed sense of
professionalism, including responsiveness to emails and requests, and commitment to the
development of students within the PRACTICE Program. An application will consist of a resume
and a letter of interest, which must discuss one's relevant experience and set of skills, as well as a
statement of one's understanding of and commitment to the philosophy of the PRACTICE
Program. Applications must be submitted by Monday, April 7, to Jeanne at the desk in our outer
office or by email forward to her at jebrown@indiana.edu. Interviews may be required. PGAs are
compensated by a scholarship that offsets tuition expenses.

Call for Fellows Applications

The application deadline for all Fellows positions below is Monday, April 7, with interviews

Admissions Fellows

First- and second-year students are encouraged to apply for the Admissions Fellows program.
Ten to fifteen Fellows will be selected to work with the Admissions Office during the 2008-09
Academic Year. Fellows work throughout the year to build relationships with potential applicants

report progress at periodic meetings with the Admissions Office staff. This work will require 5+

interviews. Fellows will be compensated with a generous stipend each semester. Interested
students should submit a resume and letter of interest to Dani Weatherford. If you have questions
about the program, contact Weatherford at maweathe@indiana.edu.

assessing learning strategies. Fellows are available for one-on-one consultations.

Work obligations also include the following: reading materials over the summer, training
early in the fall semester, activities during orientation, a minimum of five workgroup meetings
throughout the academic year, meetings with Dean of Students staff, and evaluations of the

Career and Professional Development Fellows

There are two types of positions available: Career Development Fellow and Interview
Facilitation Fellow. All Fellows will be supervised by the Director of Career & Professional

creation, coordination, and execution of the Spring Break Trips; the development of legal
marketing programs; assistance with selected On-Location Recruiting events; expansion of
student self-marketing and job search tools; and other outreach activities. Travel is required. The
time commitment would vary throughout the year with intense periods of activity before and
during spring break, but will average five to seven hours of work per week.

In the Interview Facilitation position, Fellows serve as interviewers for the PRACTICE
Program's interview workgroups held in the spring semester. Fellows prepare for and administer
mock interviewing workshops for groups composed of 6 students in 6-8 separate sessions.
Fellows then work with students to help them analyze their interviewing strengths and
weaknesses. Fellows are available for one-on-one follow-up conversations about the interviews.
The interview sessions and subsequent tasks run from mid January to early March. Submit your
resume and statement of interest for both Career positions to Dean Michael Keller.

Successful applicants for all Fellows positions will possess excellent communication,
facilitation, and negotiation skills, the ability to work with diverse people under time constraints,

Stories from the Margins

In an effort to encourage a greater appreciation for the obstacles our peers have overcome to
reach law school and to help gain a broader understanding of how pervasive and subtle prejudice
and discrimination is and continues be, the Student Bar Association (SBA) is seeking narrative
submissions from students and faculty members on the question, "When have you felt
marginalized for a personal characteristic (i.e., for your religious or spiritual beliefs, gender,
sexual orientation, race or ethnicity, physical or mental disability, political beliefs, etc.) How has
this experience affected you?" Submissions should be no more than 250 words in length and can
be emailed to sry@indiana.edu or dropped off in the SBA mail-slot on the ground floor.
Anonymity will be protected for those who wish it, but is otherwise optional. These stories will
be reproduced as part of an ongoing effort by the SBA to increase awareness of diversity in the
Law School. It also represents a less conventional way to get know each other outside of the
library and the classroom. Submissions will be accepted for the rest of the semester.
